Economic Development

Mineral Wells is the location in North Central Texas for your business relocation or expansion. This outstanding community is located just 40 minutes west of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex allowing easy access to resources without the many problems associated with larger cities.

Mineral Wells / Palo Pinto County Area Growth Council

In 1993, four local agencies decided to join efforts in their common goal of economic development. The City of Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto County, the Mineral Wells Industrial Foundation and the Mineral Wells Area Chamber of Commerce agreed to form the Mineral Wells / Palo Pinto County Area Growth Council (AGC). A steering committee made up of a representative from each agency plus an at-large member oversees and guides the activities of the AGC. Please contact the AGC Director, Steve Butcher, to discuss any questions that you might have about opportunities in the Mineral Wells area.
